Abstract

Educators in the health professions are faced with the daunting task of teaching highly complex skill acquisition and application, often without a framework to guide the development of instruction. Different learning outcomes warrant different learning strategies. Instructional sequencing is dependent upon the various learning outcomes that are intended for a particular course or instructional unit. Complex learning integrates a learner's knowledge, skills, and attitudes, new skill sets and the transference of learning in an applied environment. This chapter discusses the way complex learning can be incorporated within a health education framework that integrates the foundations of basic science, communication skills, and physical exam/procedural skills in a hands-on, learner-centered environment, providing alignment with performance assessment and expected outcomes.
